MacLean, McLean, ( etc.) in Pelham, and Colerain, MA. 1700s

Looking for others researching the MacLean/McLeans [and all those other spellings one finds] who are in Pelham, Hampshire, MA in 1700s. I recently learned, while re- researching my Clarkes that most likely the Macleans and Clarkes went from Scotland to Ireland about the same time and then came across to Massachusetts, about 1718; settling in Worcester and then in Pelham and Colerain, MA. I know they intermarried a few times and I am from one of those marriages. Until my recent re-research on the Clarks, I did not know anything about the background of the MacLean families or how the surname was really spelled (not Meklem, Mecklem and all those others I had been trying to work with).

Now I am trying to make a connection to my first known ancestor, Andrew MacLean/Maclean/Maclein/etc. and any of the earlier ones of same surname found in Scotland/Ireland. I do not have a clue as to when Andrew was born;, his first child was born 1727. Andrew married Isabel (---). I do not know when/where they died, and so no idea of ages at death or anything to give me further clues...

Considering all of the children this couple had, there must be a lot of descendants out there with whom I can exchange information....
